What technique did animated theme uses? http://www14.ownskin.com
Behind the scenes, it is symbian application changing idle screen wallpaper . What API did developer uses? For example: this solution is only setting idle screen wallpaper _LIT( KWallpaperFile,"c:\\wallpaperimage.jpg" ); User::LeaveIfError( AknsWallpaperUtils::SetIdleWallpaper( KWallpaperFilename, NULL ) ); but please guide me how to change idle screen wallpaper to animation wallpaper. |

First, Thankyou for Alh. It helps me a lot.
However, Could you please guide me some symbian code? My symbian programming experience is about 1 week so I cannot imagine how to use GIF for making animated theme.
Thankyou in advance.

AknsWallpaperUtils::SetIdleWallpaper . Is it supported on NokiaSeries60 2nd Edition?
I see from C++ Developer's Library at
http://forum.nokia.com/document/Cpp_Developers_Library/GUID-96C272CA-2BED-4352-AE7C-E692B193EC06/html/classAknsWallpaperUtils.html
and find that this api is published in S60 3rd Edition
but at http://www.ownkskin.com. Animated theme is supported on NokiaSeries60 2nd Edition like Nokia6680/6681/6630.
AknsWallpaperUtils::SetIdleWallpaper is working on NokiaSeries60 2nd Edition?

For using
_LIT( KWallpaperFilename,"c:\\wallpaperimage.gif" );
User::LeaveIfError( AknsWallpaperUtils::SetIdleWallpaper( KWallpaperFilename, NULL ) );
for NokiaS60_2nd_Edtion like Nokia6680/6681
but
S60_2nd_Editon dont' have aknswallpaperutils.lib and aknswallpaperutils.h in SDK path.
Can i copy akswallpaperutils.h and aknswallpaperutils.lib from S60_3rd_Edition library to S60_2nd_Edition library path and build for NokiaS60_2nd_Edition?

No, you can't, for at least two different reasons:
1. Symbian 9 is binary incompatible with earlier versions.
2. The header and link library don't contain the actual code, the dll does.
